Next weekend April 22 - 23, 2006 will be the 13th annual Los Banos Scale
event. In spite of the unusually heavy rains, the site is in good condition,
it just needs a good mowing, which the Park Rangers will take care of this
week.
We are expecting a good turnout, and with the weather outlook
This plane is almost fully restored, and wouldn't you know it, the wing rod has gone missing, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I don;t have measurements at the moment, but if you know you have a rod to spare, I'll buy it off of you. That usually makes the missing part reappear, buying it's replacement:-P
Hey now,
Maybe you're using the wrong flux? Rosin flux won't work, you need
acid flux to sloder to steel. Don't get your electronics close to it
though, corrosion city!

OK, since the original This sounds interesting popped-up on RCSE, I

It's like getting up at 4 am driving 2 hours and then trudging 5 miles into
the woods in 20 degree temperatures and sitting still for 8 or more hours
waiting for a deer or turkey. You manage to see one or two, but never
within range. Then trudging out and driving back home for a good 16 hour
You bet Is there any way not to have fun with a sailplane? G

Here it is a little different.
If I choose I can bag the moose right on the driveway or next to the cabin.
I can easily get someone else to do the butchering for a share of the
meat if I want to be lazy.
I don't see moose every day but it is rare to go more than three or
four days without seeing
When you have a day like that, it's a sure sign to stop at the gas station and buy a lotto ticket on the way home...
Strike # whatever...NYS Mega Millions was wy up there
and I didn't buy the ticket yesterday...(Sigh)

Now I know Sheldon has really been out soaring... ;-)
The low altitude downwind turn with a large RES ship was a bad decision,
should have just dumped those huge spoilers as it was flying away from you
into the wind.
The long walk of shame is better than a tree climb and/or breakage.
Was this kit produced by White Wings for
Airtronics? I always thought it was, but I may be
incorrect. These are some of the last kits put out by
Airtronics.

That would be Whyte Wings.

reinforce the lesson. But, ya' gotta fly 'em to learn, so I'll keep flying,

Gidday all,
What you are trying to solder is most likely stainless steel and the only
flux worth its salt is phosphoric acid. You will be amazed how well it
works on stainless or any other material for that matter.
A smidgeon on the end of a balsa stick is all that is needed and resin cored
Either the rods are stainless and you have to really beat on them, or
you're not using enough heat. (Well, ok, not beat on them, but use
different flux or something. I have bad luck soldering to stainless, but
no less a source than Mark Drela tells me it can be done. Kind of
